From first being involved in the community brief for the London Legacy Development Corporation (LLDC) back in 2012 to regenerate the Olympic site in Stratford, to being the last ever LLDC planning approval awarded last night with Bow Goods Yard for Network Rail. Congratulations to the team EAST Architecture Studio, WSP, make:good Useful Projects ARCHITECTURE 00 UMC Architects The final piece of the Olympic Park jigsaw is an industrial-led masterplan with up to 3 million sq ft of floorspace being created, including heavy and light industrial space. Bow Goods Yard has the potential to deliver a new centralised hub for Network Rail, accelerating London’s transition to green freight future. Taking up to 90,000 HGV movements a year away from the national road network, the masterplan will cut congestion and emissions.   Irene Frassoldati Joanna Poxon Blazej Czuba Kevin Logan Diana Ursachianu https://lnkd.in/eiBFc8zm #architects #urbanists #anglodutch

Nourishing communities: Food at London’s core is happening next week NLA. Catch ML Associate, Irene Frassoldati speaking about M-NEX - a study to discover how spatial interventions in our neighbourhoods can maximise the productive capacity for food growing and energy production in an urban context. https://lnkd.in/ebFXXdxJ #urbanists #architects

We had a fantastic session at the NLA yesterday discussing the potential and challenges of integrating micro data centres into communities, and how to equitably share the benefits of co-location. Associate Director Tiago Costa Jorge has led one of the NLA Expert Panel workgroup over the past year. His team has brought together a great group of experts for an open and informed discussion around alternative models for delivering digital infrastructure.

Celebrating a significant milestone in their professional journeys. Congratulations to Beth Mogey and Millie Evans who have successfully passed their RIBA Part III exams. As they transition into their new roles as architects within the practice, we are excited to continue guiding them through the next stages of their careers. Well done both 🙌 🙌 https://lnkd.in/ep8sYzfF #anglodutch #architects #urbanists

Thanks Ed Major, a wonderful milestone. Two of our tenure blind elegant buildings recently completed in London's new White City neighbourhood, and part of the larger development and existing community surrounding Television Centre. We can't wait to show more. Prisca Thielmann Steve Perkins Owen Jowett #architects #anglodutch

Honoured to have played a part in the the RIBA Stirling Prize shortlisted Kings Cross Masterplan by Allies and Morrison & Porphyrios Associates from developer Related Argent. Kings Cross R5 plot is made up of Saxon Court, Roseberry Mansion and Fenman House and was one of the first residential buildings delivered within the masterplan. When we designed the building back in 2008, the context had been stripped bare ready for development and there was little development to relate to, particularly at the intended scale, other than an abstract masterplan. 'There isn't a universal grid, it's much more incidental and grows out of the complex shapes and patterns that we inherited - you get a big variety of types of place and space.' Bob Allies of Allies and Morrison Just look how far it has come: https://lnkd.in/eWtRATyq Good luck to everyone involved in this superb piece of city making. #architects #urbanists

A 'Back to School' project from yesteryear before a new term begins. Here's Ibstock School Refectory, a former National RIBA Winner. It was a competition win where the design was founded on a fastidious attention to the interior spaces. We recognised the importance of lunchtimes in supporting the emotional and social development of pupils and wanted to create a building that was uplifting and celebratory. We were committed to creating a calm, quiet and - critically - enjoyable space; allowing hundreds of pupils to dine simultaneously whilst being able to have a conversation with those immediately next to them.

Revisiting Manchester and our concept of 'Wild Urbanism' with Schulze+Grassov & FEC UK. Urbanising the valley and wilding the city. #urbanists #architects #anglodutch

The Brentford masterplan reinstates lost connections from the High Street to the River Brent, Grand Union Canal and inland waterways to the south, helping re-establish new characterful street patterns that echo historic working yards.  Wonderful to see it getting this recognition. We worked on part of the project with Howells Allford Hall Monaghan Morris #architects #urbanists

Completed 13 years ago and Kraaiennest Metro Station in Amsterdam is still looking and performing as it did back then. Shortlisted for the Architecture Today Awards 2024 for Infrastructure and Public Realm. Joost Kok 'The metro building’s greatest value over time is its exceptional robustness and its architectural timelessness. The station, with its glowing, jewel-like presence, has proven to be highly durable. The materials and detailing have hardly aged, and the simple layout has anchored the structure and its use, making it feel as though it has never been any different.' https://lnkd.in/e7-z99nw #anglodutch #architects #urbansists
